Dinner for One is a historic German TV sketch that has become a cultural staple across Germany and much of Europe. Originating in 1963 from an NDR production, the routine features Miss Sophie and her drunken butler James as he impersonates five guests and toasts Miss Sophie with each course. Over the decades, this beloved performance has been broadcast annually on New Year’s Eve, cementing its place in year-end traditions for millions of viewers. In 2025, Prime Video released a six-episode prequel, Miss Sophie - Same Procedure as Every Year, offering a fresh look at Miss Sophie’s youth with a cast including Alicia von Rittberg as Miss Sophie and Kostja Ullmann as James, among others. While Dinner for One itself is a performance concept rather than a contemporary touring act, the page provides context, background, and where fans can explore related content and upcoming official releases.
